PREFATORY. 


Since the great International Match between Great 
Britain and America in 1905, it is our opinion that no 
assembly of checker talent has equalled the playing 
strength of the entries in the Third American Tourna¬ 
ment, at Chicago, Illinois, 1915. It is not, however, our 
part to offer an opinion on the merits of the play, though 
it may be ventured that all the circumstances incidental 
to the production of the very highest order of tourna¬ 
ment play were prevalent. 

The tournament was conducted on the Preliminary, 
Major and Minor plan similar to the Second American 
Tournament, except that players retired from the first 
two rounds of the Major Tourney were entirely elim¬ 
inated, instead of dropping back into the Minor Tourney. 

The many new features incorporated in this book, 
the Dual Index, Edinburgh Synopsis and Problem De¬ 
partment, alone should make this edition valuable. 

It is the hope of the subscriber that the annota¬ 
tions of this work will bear favorable comparison with 
others published on the game and that it will prove 
worthy of the indulgent reception with which the Banks- 
Jordan Match Games Book has already been favored.

FOREWORD. 


By D. A. Plumly, Checker Editor Salt Lake Tribune, 
Salt Lake City, Utah. 

Conflict is the natural state of man. Primitive man 
waged unceasing conflict against the wild beasts and 
wily serpents and the cruel creatures of air and water; 
the pioneer in his stern warfare with the wilderness 
and a vigorous climate, went armed for instant combat 
with the savage, and the most peaceful of men must 
conduct a constant warfare with his appetites and 
passions. So it is that mimic warfare and games of 
skill make their universal appeal. 

Of all the games devised by man, checkers is at 
once the simplest and the most profound. Not demand¬ 
ing physical strength, it places on an equality the giant 
and the dwarf, the child and the strongest man, and it 
is at once so simple that any child can play in a way 
and so profound that man has yet to fathom its depths 
and solve its mysteries. The element of chance is absent 
and its scientific accuracy is shown by the fact that 
most games between adepts are draws. 

As of old the troubadors sang the gallant deeds of 
brave men and their stories were handed down from 
generation to generation, as ancient monarchs gathered 
their chivalry together for knightly emulation and the 
people flocked to see their mighty deeds, so sing we the 
deeds of American checker experts and spread before 
you in the following pages the record of their games, so 
that you by your peaceful firesides may thrill to the 
daring and dashing attack of youth, study the veteran’s 
patient and wily strategy, and enjoy again and again 
the progress of this great tourney. 


MINUTES OF THE BIENNIAL MEETING OF THE 
AMERICAN CHECKER ASSOCIATION, HELD AT 
THE SPORTSMAN’S CLUB OF AMERICA, 
CHICAGO, ILL., JAN. 11TH, 1915. 


The meeting was called to order by President A. W. 
Valentine at 10 a. m., who appointed a committee to 
nominate officials for the election which should take 
place. This committee consisted of F. R. Wendemuth, 
L. T. Brooking, H. B. Reynolds, Alfred Jordan, W. G. 
Hill and G. M. Tanner. 


H. B. Reynolds moved that the winner of the tourna¬ 
ment should not have his title subject to challenge, but 
after a full discussion on motion of Hugh Henderson it 
was agreed to let matters stand as at present with a 
gentleman’s agreement not to challenge the winner. It 
was also agreed that all of the forty-seven openings be 
played in future tourneys. 

On motion of H. C. HJartshorn, the City of Pittsburg 
was granted one year option on the next tournament, to 
be held in 1917. 


On motion of H. C. Hartshorn, all ex-presidents of 
the American Checker Association become ex-officio life 
members of the Executive Committee. This now includes 
Prof. Frank A. Fitzpatrick, Boston, Mass., and A. W. 
Valentine, Rock Island, Ill. 

At the biennial election, the following officers were 
elected, each to serve a term of two years: E. H. 
Greene, Kansas City, Mo., President; H. C. Hartshorn, 
Chicago, Ill., Secretary and Treasurer; R. W. Patterson, 
Pittsburg, Pa., First Vice-President; J. W. Bolton, Law¬ 
rence, Mass., Second Vice-President; I. J. Goldsmith, 
Columbus, Ohio, Third Vice-President; C. M. Holt, Min¬ 
neapolis, Minn., Fourth Vice-President; W. W. Kenfield, 
Rochester, N. Y., Fifth Vice-President; L. T. Brooking, 
Funk, Neb., Sixth Vice-President. 

The Association passed resolutions of respect and 
sympathy for the families of all deceased members dur¬ 
ing the past two years, G. H. Slocum, Prophetstown, 






Ill.; Dr. W. S. Turner, Newark, Ohio; Dr. S. D. Logan, 
Cincinnati, Ohio; J. K. Lyons, Seacombe, England; Prof. 
J. M. Greenwood, Kansas City, Mo., and instructed the 
Secretary to forward said resolutions to the respective 
families. 

Without further formality, the meeting adjourned 
for the purpose of conducting the Third American 
Tourney. 


IMPRESSIONS OF THE TOURNEY AS CULLED 
FROM THE AMERICAN PRESS. 


The outstanding event of the tournament was the 
long tie of twenty-four games between Banks and Jor¬ 
dan. For four days they battled manfully against each 
other before the break came. 

There is no doubt Banks practically threw away his 
last game. Previously he had a sharp tilt with the com¬ 
mittee and it was evident from his style of opening the 
twenty-fourth game, his manner of playing the mid¬ 
game, that he was careless of the result. 

Ginsberg and Lieberman have made mighty strides 
since the last tourney, and we venture to predict that 
the coming man lies in the person of Louis Ginsberg, 
of Brooklyn. 

O’Grady, of Rochester, made a great impression 
among the players by his wonderful cross-board ability. 
He, however, lacked the necessary “dope,” without which 
the greatest natural ability is in vain. 

Hanson, of California, got in the limelight early by 
winning his first game against us, and very creditably 
did he reflect the light afterwards. 

It appeared to us that Jordan was thoroughly tired 
with his long tie with Banks, and consequently did not 
play up to his full strength in the final. 

Nobody was more surprised at the result than our¬ 
selves. When we saw the draw safe in the sixth game, 
we felt rather dazed at the result. There could be no 




mistaking the hearty ring in the congratulations of the 
players afterwards, and while on that theme, we would 
wish to take this opportunity to thank the many senders 
of congratulatory messages from all over the country. 
— H. Henderson in Pittsburg* Dispatch . 



HUGH HENDERSON, First Prize. 








Hugh Henderson of Pittsburg, who thus repeated 
his triumph of 1912 at Cedar Point by again defeating 
Alfred Jordan for the American championship, is a 
quiet, genial gentleman who bears his high honors mod¬ 
estly and is deservedly popular because of his true 
sportsmanship. 

In the semi-finals Banks and Jordan set a new 
world’s record for draws in tourney play, twenty-three 
draws being played. 

The Windy City is to be felicitated on the splendid 
way in which the tourney was conducted, the entire 
fifth floor of the Sportsman’s Club of America being 
devoted to the tourney and everything possible being 
done for the comfort of players and spectators. It is 
safe to say that never before were so many great play¬ 
ers gathered in any tourney, and the play throughout 
was of a high standard. 

The first round of the majors brought together 
Reynolds-Harrigan, Henderson-Spielman, Banks-Wende- 
muth, O’Grady-Whalen, Ginsberg-Dempsey, Hanson- 
Tanner and Lieberman-H;ill, the first named being vic¬ 
tors. In the second round the opponents were Jordan- 
Lieberman, Banks-Reynolds, Ginsberg-Hanson and Hen- 
derson-O’Grady, the latter dropping out. The semi¬ 
finals brought together Henderson and Ginsberg, Jordan 
and Banks, it taking sixteen games to decide the first 
scrap and twenty-four for the last. In the finals Banks 
and Ginsberg played eight games to a tie (all draws) 
and split third and fourth prizes. The first four games 
between Jordan and Henderson brought forth nothing 
new. The last opening was the 24-20 Dundee, and with 
the whites Henderson sprang his “cook” and with care¬ 
ful precision forced his win, Jordan putting up a most 
stubborn defense and yielding only after three and a 
half hours of play, this being at once the longest and 
most fateful of all the games of the tourney. I was 
holding the watch and when the ballot brought out this 
opening I felt sure some history would be made, as in 
conversation with Henderson the night before he ex¬ 
pressed his confidence in this opening, so generally 
regarded as dangerous for black.

Banks and Ginsberg finished so close that, in racing 
parlance, a blanket would cover them; that Hill, who 
scored most points in the preliminary round and was 
knocked out in the first round of the major tourney 


Bradford won first prize in the minor tourney, 
Cooper was second, Scott and Valentine tied for third 
and fourth places, Doran was fifth and Howe, Jr., 
landed in sixth place. 

Now that the smoke of battle has cleared away, it 
would not be amiss to say that Henderson has shown 
himself a real champion by repeating; that Jordan, 





play, was perhaps the unluckiest of all the players; that 
Lieberman, who lost but one game, was a close second 
to Hill in this respect; that O’Grady gained the reputa¬ 
tion of being the hardest fighter of all; that Bradford 
displayed good judgment, and that Spielman and Howe, 
Jr., are two youths who have all the earmarks of real 
comers and will make their marks when they mature, 
Howe, Jr., being only sixteen years of age. It was a 
great tourney and the retiring officials, President Valen¬ 
tine especially, have every reason to feel proud of their 
enviable records.— D. A. Plumly, in Salt Lake Tribune. 

Third American Tourney the Most Successful 
Ever Held. 

By Prof. H. C. Hartshorn, Chicago, III., Secretary 
American Checker Association. 

The Third American Tournament for the checker 
championship was the most successful ever held in this 
country. Many records were broken, the most notable 
being the prolonged contest between Newell W. Banks 
and Alfred Jordan in the semi-finals, when they con¬ 
tested twenty-four games before a knockout was scored, 
Jordan winning the final game with the white side of 
the Paisley; this broke the former world’s record of 
eighteen games, Scott vs. Searight in 1903 .at Glasgow 
for the Scottish championship. 

The longest game played in the tourney required 
four hours, when Henderson defeated Jordan in the fifth 
game of the finals, winning the white side of the 24-20 
Dundee. This same Dundee also caused the downfall of 
Reynolds, when Banks defeated him in the second round 
of the major tourney. Two years ago at Cedar Point 
Reynolds knocked out in succession three Chicago cracks, 
Lieberman, Wendemuth and Whalen. 

Harry Lieberman accomplished the wonderful feat 
of knocking out successively the three eastern repre¬ 
sentatives, Reynolds, of Syracuse; Hill, of Lawrence, 
Mass., and O’Grady, of Rochester, thus returning the 
compliment. Lieberman, furthermore, went through the 
entire tourney with only one win scored against him, 
when Jordan defeated him with a black Fife.

Henderson, the two-time champion, broke the record 
by winning the championship twice in succession. He 
, will be entitled to keep the American championship lov¬ 
ing cup two more years in Pittsburg, where the next 
American tourney will be held in 1917. Henderson’s 
chances in the tourney were not supposed to be equal to 
either those of Banks or Jordan, and it required the 
warming up process of the all-around preliminary tour¬ 
ney to put him in championship form. This is demon¬ 
strated by the fact that he lost three games in the 
preliminary heat and none in the major tourney. The 
three games lost in the preliminary were to Morton 
Spielman, Chicago; J. B. Hanson, San Francisco, and 
J. W. Bolton, Lawrence. 

The most surprising upsets in the tourney were the 
defeats of Henderson in the preliminary by Hanson and 
Spielman and the failure of such experts as Doran, 
Bradford and Scott to qualify for the major tourney. 
Willis Hill, the eastern crack, led everybody in the pre¬ 
liminary with a total of twenty-one points, but failed to 
get in the prize money, being defeated by Harry Lieber- 
man in the first round of the major tourney.

In the first round, Banks, a game up in his tie with 
Wendemuth, looked strong, but in the very next game 
got into a position from which there seemed to be no 
escape. Many of the spectators were of the impression 
that the Illinois expert would surely score, but the way 
Banks emerged from a most ticklish position with a safe 
draw was met with a general outburst of admiration. 


JThese games were annotated by N. W. Banks. 
































J. B. Hanson, a game down with Tanner, matters 
looked rather dubious for the Western expert, but that 
he should recover by winning three consecutive games 
was one of the surprises of the tourney. 

Harrigan lost a long drawn out ending to Reynolds, 
the latter succeeding in drawing the other five games. 

The Lieberman-Hill tie was the longest session in 
this round, the former ever playing safe and patiently 
waiting for the Easterner to vary. The break came in 
the last game; Hill decided to mix things and was soon 
in difficulties. 

In the second round, the Lieberman-Jordan tie 
proved an interesting bout. The first game was drawn. 
In the second, the 26-28 line of the Fife was in progress 
and matters looked even until the ending, when Lieber- 
man attempted to crown three pieces at too early a stage, 
and after a long ending was compelled to resign the 
game. 

The next two games were quickly drawn, but Lieber- 
man did not go under without a struggle, for in the fifth 
game, a 10-14 24-20, Lieberman with the black pieces 
broke 14-18 at second move, and Jordan was soon in diffi¬ 
culties, being repeatedly called to time. After an hour’s 
play white’s position was so critical that many of the 
onlookers thought Lieberman would tie the score. Though 
hard pressed to the finish, Jordan managed to escape with 
a narrow draw. 

The last game of the series furnished considerable 
excitement. Lieberman, piloting the white pieces, at a 
very early stage played nearly all of his pieces from the 
king-row; Jordan, on the other hand, had one of his 
pieces crowned and an almost impenetrable position. The 
position (which proved to be the most unusual in the 
tourney), however, changed and Jordan was compelled to 
sacrifice a piece, which, however, did not release his king 
until three moves later. The game was eventually drawn. 
The second game proved to be the only one lost by Lieber¬ 
man in the tournament. 

Banks soon had Reynolds in trouble, but the Inter¬ 
nationalist equalized matters by scoring the next game. 
In the sixth game Banks tried the same attack on the 
Dundee that Henderson put on Jordan and was successful 
in putting another win over. 


— 17 — 


Henderson and O’Grady had a hard fight and it was 
not until seven well fought draws had been played that 
the former managed to secure a win. 

In the semi-final round, Banks vs. Jordan broke the 
world’s record. Twenty-three draws were chalked up 
before a win was scored. The highest record was eigh¬ 
teen games drawn, in the Scottish championship, 1903, 
Scott vs. Searight. In view of the fact that the last 
eighteen games played between Banks and Jordan in their

match were all drawn makes a total of forty-one con¬ 
secutive draws. 

The Henderson-Ginsberg games were among the 
most interesting played in the tourney. Fourteen draws 
were recorded before Henderson finally scored a win, 
with the Black side of 10-15 24-19. In the last game 
Ginsberg put up a gallant fight and rumors were afloat 


— 18 — 





that Ginsberg might equalize. Henderson, however, 
worked out of difficulties, drawing the game and thus 
winning the heat. 

The Jordan-Henderson tie in the final round evinced 
considerable enthusiasm. The first four games were all 
drawn; the ballot for fifth and sixth games brought forth 
the Dundee 12-16 24-20, an opening balloted with more 
frequency than any other and which has figured so disas¬ 
trously in this tourney. The fifth game was the longest 
in the tourney, lasting four hours and placing one game 
to Henderson’s credit. The last game was drawn by 
Henderson without much trouble.

In the qualifying round the first two games were 

drawn. The Switcher was balloted for third and fourth 
games, Lieberman adopting the 4-8 1-6 line. About mid¬ 
game he threatened to sacrifice a piece, which O’Grady 
parried for a few moves, but which was eventually forced, 
and from which there was no escape. The next game was 
drawn. 

In the next game, a 12-16 22-18 Bristol, O’Grady 
attempted to mix things with an unsatisfactory result. 

Hanson lost a game to Reynolds, but regained it 
owing to an unusual oversight. Later, Reynolds seemed 
to have Hanson into another loss, but the latter escaped 
with a narrow draw. In the sixth game Hanson had an 
easy victory in hand with the black side of the double-

corner Dyke, but by careless play in the ending allowed 
Reynolds to escape from an apparently hopeless position. 

After eight drawn games had been recorded between 
Banks and Ginsberg, especially in view of the long siege 
between Banks and Jordan the previous day, both players 
agreed to divide third and fourth prizes. 

Reynolds lost the black side of a 10-15 22-17 Kelso, 
and in attempting to equalize lost the Dyke with the black 
pieces, in the play-off for fifth and sixth prizes.

THE PRIZE WINNERS, CONTESTANTS AND 
OFFICIAL. 


HUGH HENDERSON, winner of the American 
Championship for the second time and the first cash prize 
of $100.00, was born in Muirkirk, Scotland, 43 years ago. 
He has been a prominent figure in many of the Scottish 
tourneys, on two occasions reaching the finals, 1901 and 
1905, being retired by Stewart and Buchanan respec¬ 
tively. At one time or another he has in his enviable 
tourney record retired such noted exponents of the game 
as Ferrie, Buchanan, Campbell, Battersby, Bryden, Jack- 
son, Burns, Scobie and Taylor. In the International 
match, England vs. Scotland (1903), he succeeded in re¬ 
tiring Morrall and Atwell, two English experts, and in 
the Second American Tournament defeated Alfred Jordan 
by the score of 1 to 0 and 7 draws. 

Upon several occasions he has won the Pennsylvania 
championship and has figured in two important stake 
matches, viz., against N. W. Banks and J. D’Orio, the 
former he lost by the narrow margin of one game, but 
the latter he won handily. He coached C. F. Barker for 
his match with J. A. Drouillard, which the former won 
decisively. He edits a valuable column in the Pittsburgh 
Dispatch. 

By again defeating Alfred Jordan, repeating his suc¬ 
cess of 1912, he has distinguished himself as one of the 
world’s best. 

ALFRED JORDAN (Second Prize, Major, $70), 
champion of Scotland, 1912, and multi-champion of Eng¬ 
land, has a very enviable record. For a complete sketch 
of his career the reader is referred to the Banks-Jordan 
Match Games book. Briefly stated, he has made a tri¬ 
umphant tour of America and has been successful in many 
subscription matches. In two matches on the go-as-you- 
please style he has met defeat at the hands of M. E. 
Pomeroy, of Binghamton, N. Y. 

He played a match with Newell W. Banks, Detroit, 
Mich., in November, 1914, at Kansas City, Mo., for a side 
wager of $500.00, aggregating a purse of $1,000.00, and 
the restricted championship of the world, which termin- 


— 22 — 


ated a tie, two wins each and thirty-six drawn games. 
He has made preparations to be at the World’s Fair at 
San Francisco, Cal., 1915, appearing in a novelty checker 
exhibit. He lost his only game in this tournament to 
Hugh Henderson. 



ALFRED JORDAN, Second Prize. 

NEWELL W. BANKS (dividing Third and Fourth 
Prizes, Major, $57.50) is America’s premier contender 
for the world’s championship. Since his last match for 
the title and a purse of $1,000.00 in Kansas City, Mo., 
last November, he has been doing but little studying— 
rather resting his eyes to appear in good condition for 
his prospective match with Robert Stewart in San Fran¬ 


ks— 






cisco, Cal. For a complete biographical sketch the reader 
is referred to the Banks-Jordan Match Games book. 

He has played many important stake matches, and 
in this respect is a total stranger to defeat, memorable 
among these are his matches with Brown, Harrigan, Hen¬ 
derson and Jordan, the latter succeeding in holding him 
level, the score being 2 to 2 and 36 draws. While in 


NEWELL W. BANKS, Dividing Third and Fourth Prizes with 
Louis C. Ginsberg. 

Kansas City, Mo., he played a match of twenty games 
with Harry Lieberman for a purse of $100.00 (Mr. E. H. 
Greene allowing each player $5.00 for each win scored 
and $5.00 for a draw divided equally), scoring six wins 
and fourteen draws. 


—24— 





As an adept at blindfold checkers he may be recog¬ 
nized as one of the greatest and most penetrating gen¬ 
iuses the world has ever produced, the acknowledged peer 
of any in America. At rapid simultaneous play, his losses 
are so few as to again evince the characteristics of the 
master-mind. His unfortunate tilt with the Committee 
on Arrangements, where said committee voted against 
the ballot in the semi-final round, may be to some extent 
responsible for his loss to Jordan. His recent remark¬ 
able exhibition in Chicago, Ill., where he played six of 
the strongest players in that state, without sight of the 
boards or men, not losing a single game, places him im¬ 
mediately on a high pinnacle of fame. 


LOUIS C. GINSBERG (dividing Third and Fourth 
Prizes, Major, $57.50) was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., and 
is but 21 years of age, and an expert of established rank. 
In the Second American Tournament he scored 1 win and 
2 draws against A. Jordan, and had but to draw the last 
game to relegate the then Anglo-Scottish champion to 
the Minor division. His exhibition play is excellent, this 
being especially manifest through his Eastern tour. His 
annotations of a great part of this work are beyond criti¬ 
cism and reveal a tremendous grasp of the finer points 
of the game. 

The possessor of a valuable manuscript, he has his 
lines arranged as well as any player living; his long 
siege of sixteen games with the winner of the tourna¬ 
ment, ere he lost a game, places him at once as one of 
the leading stars in the checker firmament. 


HARRY LIEBERMAN (Fifth Prize, Major, $50.00) 
has just passed his twenty-second year. In the Second 
American Tourney he distinguished himself by winning 
fourth Major prize, $100.00. In this tourney he lost but 
one game. 

HARRAH B. REYNOLDS (Sixth Prize, Major, 
$45.00) was born May 21, 1872, at Flushing, N. Y. He 
was a member of the international team selected from 
the United States to play against the British team in 
Boston, Mass., in 1905, and has competed in the three 


—25— 


national tournaments which have been held. In the first 
he secured fourth place, in the second tourney he secured 
second place, and in this he won sixth place. He also 
was a member of the New York State team in each of 
the two matches, New York State versus Massachusetts, 
and in the first of these matches organized the New York 


OFFICIAL STAFF. 



Standing—Prof. H. C. Hartshorn, Secretary and Treasurer American 
Checker Assn.; Frank R. Wendemuth, ex-Vice-President American 
Checker Assn.; Harvey L. Hopkins, Official Referee American Checker 
Assn.; John Howe, Sr., Asst. Official Referee American Checker Assn. 

Sitting—A. W. Valentine, ex-President American Checker Assn ; 
E. H. Greene, President American Checker ASsn. 


State team and was elected as captain thereof. He also 
had an active part in the organization of the Rochester, 
N. Y., checker club over twenty years ago, the club hav¬ 
ing met in the same room throughout all these years. 





JOHN T. BRADFORD (First Prize, Minor, $40.00) 
is a member of the Eastern school of experts, though for 
the past three or four years has made the Golden State 
his home. There he played two important matches, 
against J. A. Drouillard and J. D’Orio, losing the former 
and winning the latter. He won the championship of 
the Pacific Coast in 1914, and has the record of winning 
more games than any other player in the tournament. 



A. W. VALENTINE, Official Referee of the Banks-Jordan Match, 
ex-President of the American Checker Association. 

A. W. VALENTINE (dividing Third and Fourth 
Prizes, Minor, $17.50) was ushered into existence in 
Mercer County, Ill., April 20, 1852. At the age of 12 
his father taught him the rudiments of the game, and 


—27— 




after a short course of study, in 1887 he bought his first 
book on the game, Spayth’s American Draught Player. 
In 1889 he won the championship of the State of Illinois, 
held in Moline, and has since given an excellent account 
of himself in state tourneys. 

Mr. Valentine participated in the Second American 
Tournament, held at Cedar Point, Ohio, in 1912, and won 
a prize in the Third American Tournament. Of late 
years Mr. Valentine plays more for science and pastime 
rather than where it may be a question of endurance. 

He has been referee or timekeeper in almost every 
important match staged in America since his debut in the 
checker world, and the manner and efficiency he has filled 
these numerous positions has met with the respect and 
admiration of the entire checker fraternity. 

As late president of the American Checker Asso¬ 
ciation, he has evinced not only executive ability of a 
high order, but administrative qualities thus far un¬ 
paralleled in the history of the organization. At a regu¬ 
lar meeting of the American Checker Association it was 
unanimously suggested to make the 14th of February, a 
legal holiday, '‘Valentine’s Day.” 

WALTER T. COOPER (Second Prize, Minor, $30.00) 
was born in England of Celtic parentage. It was while 
in Sydney, N. S. W., a decade or so ago that he began to 
take active interest in the game. Mr. Cooper has several 
interesting checker problems bearing his name, and trav¬ 
eling extensively as he has on land and sea, has aided 
him in acquiring considerable natural ability. 

He is a member of the Illinois State Checker Asso¬ 
ciation. 

JOSEPH H. SCOTT (dividing Third and Fourth 
Prizes, Minor, $17.50) is rather a strong crossboard 
player and has made some excellent scores with the ex¬ 
perts visiting the Windy City. In local and state cham¬ 
pionship tournaments his name is generally near the top 
of the list. In 1910 he played a subscription match of 
20 games with George M. Tanner, winning by the score 
of 5 to 2 and 11 draws. 


—28— 


PETER DORAN (Fifth Prize, Minor, $12.00) was 
born in Ireland in 1872 and crossed the Atlantic, locat¬ 
ing in Portland, Oregon. Later Mr. Doran moved to 
Chicago, where he has entered and won City and State 
championships. He is a student of the game of acknowl¬ 
edged standing, and coupled with an excellent memory, 
Mr. Doran possesses a rare, cumulative knowledge of 
published play and is regarded by many as one of the best 
posted players in America. Employed by a large pub¬ 
lishing corporation as watchman, playing during the day 
and working at night, one might say that he entered this 
tournament more for sociability and diversion rather than 
with any object of winning a prize. 


JOHN HOWE, JR., (Sixth Prize, Minor, $8.00) the 
youngest competitor in the tournament, is but 18 years 
old, born March 15, 1897. At present he holds the Class 
B championship of Chicago, Ill., aspiring to the juvenile 
championship of the United States, a title now held by 
Millard F. Hopper, of New York City, N. Y. Master 
Howe is secretary of the Chicago South Side club and 
has been appointed assistant secretary of the American 
Checker Association. 


THOMAS J. O’GRADY, a native of New York State 
and a charter member of the Rochester Checker club, 
has played almost all of the leading American players 
with highly creditable scores; memorable among these 
are his matches with J. F. Horr and A. Jordan. The first 
was played to a tie and his last session with the noted 
English expert were all draws. 

Business has prevented Mr. O’Grady from taking 
part in tournaments or set matches, but he stands ready 
to make things interesting for any expert coming to 
Rochester, N. Y. 


GEORGE M. TANNER, a Chicago player who has 
an excellent tourney record. Mr. Tanner won the city 
tournament in 1911, again in 1914, and was in a three- 
cornered tie for first place in 1913. He defeated Morton 


—29— 


Spielman by the score of four wins to two and nine draws 
in a sixteen game match for the Chicago challenge cup. 
He has recently distinguished himself by winning a match 
of twenty games from J. B. Hanson. 

WILLIS G. HILL, of Lawrence, Mass., the interna¬ 
tionalist, formerly of Nashua, N. H., was champion of 
that state before the international match, where he made 
the winning record (six wins) for the American team. 
He was a member of the Massachusetts team in the last 
interstate match with New York, which the former won 
by the score of 7 to 6. There he acquitted himself cred¬ 
itably by drawing all of his games with J. F. Horr, one of 
the leading stars in the Empire State. Mr. Hill won a 
stake match from E. C. Waterhouse just prior to the 
Second American Tournament and secured the highest 
number of points in the preliminary round of the tourney 
here recorded. 

THOMAS J. HARRIGAN, ex-champion of Pennsyl¬ 
vania, is a player who will rank with the modern school 
of experts. A devoted student of the game, he finds 
considerable pleasure in exchanging ideas on the finer 
points of the game, and, on account of his time being so 
limited, does not get very much cross-board practice. 

CHRISTOPHER NELSON, a resident of New York 
City, has made excellent scores with most of the experts 
he has met. In the third round of the Second American 
Tournament he was only retired by J. F. Horr, and was 
paired against A. Jordan in the very first round of the 
Major tourney this year, where he lost one game, draw¬ 
ing the remaining five. His play on the Edinburgh open¬ 
ing, in the Consolation tourney, in this book, shows him 
to be in a class with some of America’s best. 

PATRICK WHALEN, a Chicagoan by choice, was 
one of the contenders for high honors in the Second 
American Tourney. There he had the internationalist, 
H. B. Reynolds, at his mercy in their last game, where 
he seemed to have missed an easy win by second position 
that might have reversed the score. That he should lose 
three straight games to O’Grady was one of the surprises 
of this tourney. 


—30— 



JESSE B. HANSON, of Sacramento, Cal., traveling 
a distance of 2,500 miles to compete in the American 
Tourney, is certainly a player who is rapidly coming to 
the front. He has played many subscription matches, 
from California to Maine, from Tampa, Florida, to St. 
John’s, New Brunswick, Canada. 

But for the fact that he allowed H. B. Reynolds, the 
internationalist, to escape with a draw from an appar¬ 
ently hopeless position, young Hanson would have been 
easily assured of a valuable prize. 

Morris Alburtus, the showman, took Jesse to Europe 
with him in 1912, and there he met and played with many 
notable English experts, viz., Morrall, Coleman, Hynd, 
etc., with highly creditable scores. 

Returning from England and Scotland, Hanson im¬ 
personated the “man of mystery” behind the scenes of 
Ajeeb at the Eden Musee. He has since made another 
trans-continental trip. 


L. T. BROOKING, Funk, Nebr., four-time champion 
of that state, winning the title in 1900, 1905, 1908 and 
1914, is a player exceptionally well posted on the scien¬ 
tific points of the game. This he made manifest in the 
preliminary round, where he drew both of his games with 
Banks, Lieberman and Wendemuth, and came within one 
point of qualifying for the Major division. Possessing 
an excellent manuscript of all of the two-move openings, 
Mr. Brooking finds considerable enjoyment in arranging 
most of his lines for any serious encounter. He has a 
rare and valuable violin which he plays with surpassing 
skill. 

Mr. Brooking was elected one of the vice-presidents 
of the American Checker Association for the ensuing 
two years. 

FRANK R. WENDEMUTH, several times winner of 
the Illinois State tourney, is a player well posted on all 
important lines of restricted play. Mr. Wendemuth won 
the Chicago challenge cup twice in succession, and is the 
possessor of one of the largest and most valuable libraries 
in the Central West. 


—31— 


J. DEMPSEY. an expert player and an analyst of 
some repute, first took scientific interest in checkers in 
Chicago, Ill., a few years ago. His play in the (Edin¬ 
burgh opening) Consolation tourney against acknowl¬ 
edged experts is highly creditable, and reveals an accum¬ 
ulated knowledge of highly analyzed play on this most 
interesting of all openings. 

MORTON SPIELMAN, a Chicago product, and a 
player rapidly coming to the front. He has made some 
remarkable scores in local tournament play, succeeding 
in capturing first prize in a tournament held in Chicago, 
Ill., advertised for the Northwestern championship— 
where he retired several of the State’s best players. He 
succeeded in winning the Chicago Challenge Cup on one 
occasion. 

JOHN W. BOLTON was born in LeRoy, Minn., 
January 16, 1860. His parents removed to Vermont, 
where he first learned to play the game of checkers when 
about ten years old. He resides in Lawrence, Mass., 
where he owns a plant engaged in the manufacture of 
paper-mill machinery. 

Mr. Bolton’s performance of breaking even with the 
American champion was met with a general outburst of 
admiration. 

At the Association’s regular business meeting, held 
in Chicago, Ill., January 11, 1915, he was elected Vice- 
President of the American Checker Association. 

THOMAS PATTERSON, a resident of St. Louis, 
Mo., and manager of the Purity Seal Lunch Co., has 
played checkers off and on since he was seven years old. 
He has been especially successful in scoring games from 
experts visiting the Mound City, such as Banks, Hanson, 
Jordan, etc.; his last session with the latter, each scoring 
two wins and three draws. 

BERT MARCH, the noted Chicago-Springfield-St. 
Louis expert, was born at Dixon, Ill., September 16, 1869. 
Hie has met and played many games with John T. Denvir 
at Springfield, Ill., with highly creditable scores. Mr. 


—32— 



March has been a regular attendant at the yearly outings 
at Cedar Point, Ohio, and in 1910 succeeded in being tied 
for fifth place in a group of twenty-four competing 
experts. 

ARTHUR H. BARNES, a Chicago player with con¬ 
siderable natural ability, should have finished much high¬ 
er. Arthur was hardly at himself, being somewhat under 
the weather during the meet. 

H. E. MOORE, Milwaukee, Wis., is a winner of the 
local championship twice in succession, 1908, 1909, and 
the Pabst Blue Ribbon Trophy—a large silver loving cup. 
Though not having had much hard cross-board practice 
of late years, Mr. Moore is sure to give a good account 
of himself at future tourneys. 

B. BACKUS, Grand Ledge, Mich., is a player be¬ 
longing to the older school of experts. Mr. Backus en¬ 
tered the tournament more with the object of meeting 
all the players again and having an all-around sociable 
time for a week or ten days than with any idea of 
achieving fame. 

W. E. THOMIS. Danville, Ill., a fair player possess¬ 
ing all the qualities that make the expert, entered the 
tournament with the primary object of meeting with all 
the players. He distinguished himself by breaking even 
with the noted Brooklyn expert, L. C. Ginsberg. 

W. H. GECKLER, Indianapolis, Ind., is a player 
who has some natural ability. This was his initial ap¬ 
pearance in the American tournaments and it is likely 
will give a better account of himself at future meets. 

A. CARLSON, Chicago, Ill., who recently began a 
systematic study of the game under the able tutorship of 
Mr. F. R. Wendemuth, the noted Illinois expert, has been 
making rapid strides. He managed to secure wins from 
heavier opponents, and if this is any criterion of his skill 
he may have to be reckoned with in the next tourney. 

H. C. HARTSHORN, Chicago, Ill., as a checker ex¬ 
pert belongs to the latest and youngest school. In his 


—33— 


short career in checkers he has accomplished much— 
both from the playing standpoint and from the executive. 
Prof. Hartshorn is one of the very few players living to 
have defeated Alfred Jordan most games in a cross-board 
sitting. The South Side Checker Club, Chicago, was 
organized by him, together with J. H. Scott, Chicago, and 
others, in 1904; today that club is one of the strongest 
and best equipped in the world. 

In 1912 he won the Illinois state championship, also 
the Chicago city championship, holding both titles at the 
same time. 

At the Cedar Point Outing Tourney, in 1913, Prof. 
Hartshorn represented the Associated Press and also 
acted as special correspondent for the Chicago Daily 
News throughout the entire proceedings of the tourney; 
he has performed the same service at all the later tourna¬ 
ments held in Illinois. At present Prof. Hartshorn is 
checker editor of the Chicago Daily Neivs and one of the 
Vice-Presidents of the Sportsman’s Club of America, and 
it was through his efforts that the Association was en¬ 
abled to hold the tourney in their spacious quarters on 
Michigan Boulevard. 

At the biennial meeting of the American Checker 
Association he was elected Secretary and Treasurer for 
the ensuing two years; he is also the Secretary and 
Treasurer of the Illinois State Checker Association. 

HARVEY L. HOPKINS, Chicago, Ill., was born in 
Eaton, Madison County, New York, May 13, 1842; educat¬ 
ed at district and union schools and Hamilton Academy; 
taught district schools; admitted to the bar of New York, 
Iowa and Illinois. Mr. Hopkins practiced in Morrisville, 
then the county seat of said Madison County, the firm’s 
name being Barclay & Hopkins. Moving to Chicago in 
1877, Mr. Hopkins began the manufacture of his choice 
mowers, of which he has issued many valuable patents; 
first mower patent, December 17, 1861; last, December 
22, 1914. He is the author of “Law and Facts on Patents 
and Invention,” published by Chas. J. Johnson, Chicago, 
1887. 

Mr. Hopkins organized and incorporated the Chi¬ 
cago Chess and Checker Club, December, 1888; was its 


—34 — 


President for seven consecutive years. He is the official 
referee for the American and Illinois State Checker 
Associations and the South Side Checker Club, Chicago. 

A devoted friend of the late James P. Reed, of Pitts¬ 
burgh, he was his manager when he won his great match 
with Charles F. Barker in Chicago, in 1889. He has 
written and delivered a lecture on checkers. 



E. H. GREENE, Promoter of the Banks-Jordan Match, President of 
the American Association. 

E. H. GREENE, Kansas City, Mo., commenced teach¬ 
ing at the age of sixteen in the country schools of his 
native county; attended the State Normal at Shippens- 
burg, Cumberland County, Pa., for three and one-half 
years, and owing to failing health was unable to finish 


—35— 






the four-year course. In 1878 Mr. Greene came west 
and taught school for two years in Scott County, Iowa, 
but was compelled to abandon his chosen profession on 
physician’s advice and seek out-door employment. 

In the early eighties he sold fire apparatus, with 
headquarters in Chicago; during this period, from 1881 
to 1887, traveling extensively over the Western states. 
In 1890 he associated himself with the Insurance Bureau 
of the Board of Underwriters, where he was a general 
inspector until the Spring of 1895; later, with head¬ 
quarters in St. Paul, in the capacity of electrical inspector 
for the St. Paul Bureau. After two years he returned to 
Kansas City, Mo., and again associated himself with the 
Missouri Inspection Bureau, remaining with that corpo¬ 
ration until December 1, 1914, covering in all twenty- 
four years of service in this work. For the past seven 
or eight years he has specialized in electrical and hy¬ 
draulic engineering, and during a period of twenty-two 
years’ continuous work in the state of Missouri he has 
visited every town of 500 inhabitants. This work of 
inspection makes him one of the best posted men on con¬ 
struction fire hazards in the United States. 

Mr. Greene was one of the charter members of the 
first checker club organized in Kansas City, Mo., in 1887. 
He organized the present Kansas City Chess, Checkers 
and Whist Club in 1905, under whose auspices many 
notable checker events have been staged. He has been 
the President of the Kansas City Chess, Checkers and 
Whist Club for the past five years. Under his vigorous 
protest he was elected to the office of President of the 
Mound City Checker Club of St. Louis, Mo. 

For the past four months he has devoted his entire 
time to the interests of the game, being the publisher of 
the Banks-Jordan match games book and the Third Amer¬ 
ican tourney book, and is now at work on a complete 
checker directory of the United States and Canada. This 
work aims to give the name and address of every checker 
player, and the name and address of every checker club 
and checker resort in the United States and Canada. This 
will be published in loose-leaf form. 

During the next two years it is the intention of Mr. 
Greene to wage a campaign of education and work for 


—36— 


the representation of every State Association in the 
American Association, so that, in the Fourth American 
Tourney, there may be ninety-six instead of thirty-two 
entries. To this end he asks the hearty co-operation of 
checker players in the United States.

a. This is one of the strongest attacks of the Dundee 
opening and extreme care must be taken to avoid the 
pitfalls and snares that are set for the unwary. 

b. Probably best at this stage as it restricts the White 
attack to very few lines; 8 11 also draws and was 
at one time considered the best move, but popular 
opinion now considers the text the best move.

d. The beginning of the weakness in the Black forma¬ 
tion, although a draw can no doubt be established. 
The following is the most natural continuation:

e. 32 28, 1 6, 28 24, 6 10, 24 20, 10 17, 18 15. Drawn. 
/. The loss can be chalked up to this move. If there 

is a draw lurking it is very problematical. 
g. From here White scores a very fine win, and allows 



no loophole for escape.

opening and is known among experts as the ‘'Boston 
line.”

in the finals is very much better.

Varies from preceding game and was quite popular 
with the Scotch experts a score of years ago. 

C. F. Barker was partial to this line in preference to 
25 22, which is equally as strong. 

A great improvement on 5 9, 20 11, 15 18, 22 15, 
10 26, etc., as played between Whalen and O’Grady, 
in which the latter introduced an improvement of 
P. P. 


The consensus of opinion among experts seems to 
prevail that the text move is the best, although the 
late R. Jordan favored 8 11. Stewart vs. R. Jordan 
played the following game on 8 11 in their match 
for the world’s championship:

Very weak, and no doubt the cause of the Black 
loss, but Black has so much stronger play that the 
text move is not worth consideration. The correct 
play would run thus:

White wins. 

a. 

This line of 

play has 

figured in 

the recent English 


and Scotch tourneys quite frequently, although 29 25, 
4 8, 24 19, 16 23, 27 18, etc., draws. 
b. The best reply and gives Black an even game.

White wins. 


a. 11 18 as played by Banks and Jordan is a good al¬ 
ternative and paves the way for original lines. 

b. The beginning of the weakness in the Black game 
that finally shows itself in the ending. The only ten¬ 
able move is 9 13, which runs into old play, but 8 11 
as given by ‘‘Shearer” in his “Handbook” for a draw 
loses. See Var. 1 for play on 8-11.

e. Corrects a game between Hill and Searight, where 
the latter went 23 19 and only drew. 30 25 was sug¬ 
gested to win by Heffner in the International Match 
Book, but does not give any play.

tions ensuing from the 9 14, 22 17, and 11 16, 24 19 
respectively, are imperative to the arrangement of 
one’s lines of play. Note that this is a characteristic

drawn. Montague vs. Ferrie.

e. In the R. Jordan vs. Freedman match (see Dunne’s 
Praxis) the world’s champion took the 10 15 pitch 
here and drew easily thus: 10 15, 19 10, 2 6, 16 11, 
7 16, 27 23, 6 15, 17 10, 20 24, *32 28, 16 20, Drawn. 
There seems to be a marked diversity of opinion re¬ 
garding the text move. The encyclopedia considers 
it a loss, while Dunne’s Praxis maintains it is a good 
line. However, the above play is the safest. 

/. Again, Mr. Henderson varies from “Modern Match 
Games,” which goes 7 11 to draw.

a. 

The Paisley 

break, a 

position thoroughly 

threshed 


out. 

b. If 26 23, then 6 9 is proper. Wyllie vs. Stewart. See 
Var. 1. 

c. 6 10, 24 19, 10 17, 21 14 is very strong for White. A. 
Jordan vs. H. Henderson in a subscription match at 
Pittsburgh continued thus: 11 16, 25 21, 9 13, 18 15, 
13 17, 23 18 and Jordan eventually won. 


— 58 — 


d. A powerful line. 30 26 and 24 19 are the older con¬ 
tinuations. Note that the move that draws against 
24 19, viz., 6 10, loses against the text by 30 26, 10 17, 
22 6, 2 9, 21 17, 7 10, 18 14, 9 18, 23 7, 3 10, 26 23, 
5 9, 17 13, W. W. 

e. T. J. O’Grady and W. G. Hill played 10 14 and 2 7 
respectively, at this point, vs. Lieberman, with a 
drawn result. 

/. A beautiful ending, and although the position and 
play is not new, Black has managed the game very 
skillfully. The ending is similar to a Denny 10 14, 


22 

17 

between ( 

2. Hefter 

and 

H. 

Lieberman, 

, as

draw. The diagram shows the position after 3 8.

a. One of the most powerful attacks of the dreaded 
“Edinburgh” opening. 

b. 22 18 is very strong. 


c. 27 18 was once considered very strong, but new play 
has been discovered which eliminates all winning 
possibilities for White, therefore the text move is 
usually adopted. The following variation will show 
the weakness in the 27 18 formation:

g. Corrects a game between Jordan and Ginsberg where

h. 24 20 is another sound alternative but not very well 
known. The following instructive play is given espe¬

a. This move seems to be the only safe defense here if 
published play is to be taken as a criterion. Since 
R. Jordan lost by 14 18 to Barker in their match for 
the world’s championship, the experts in this coun¬ 
try and abroad seem to favor the text move and 
apparently are of the opinion that White has the 
better game after it (14 18) has been made. 

b. White has several good moves here, 27 23 as played 
in the previous game, or 26 23 and 22 17 which give 
an equal game. 

c. When playing for a draw this is very safe, but if 
you want to mix it, 16 19 fills the bill. See Var. 1. 

d. 32 27 is quite trappy and leads to interesting play. 

e. A very natural looking move for the amateur to make 
would be 7 11 which loses bv the following neat 
shot: 7 11, 21 17, 11 18, 26 22, 14 21, 23 7, 2 11, 
19 16, 12 19, 27 24, 20 27, 32 7. White wins. 

/. This game has figured in many important contests 
abroad.

a. Quite a favorite line with the late C. F. Barker. 

b. Very poor; 8 11 should be played first, thus: 8 11, 
25 22, 6 10, 27 23, 11 15, 24 20, 15 24, 28 19, etc.

and it would be a matter of analysis to decide 
whether the position is a draw or a win.

a. The Glasgow, an opening pretty well understood by 
the experts. 

b. This move is not to be recommended as it is too weak 
to attempt to draw across the board. The object in 
playing this move is to entice Black to take the 2 for 
2 by 10 15, 17 10, 16 19, 23 16, 12 28, then White 
plays 22 18, 15 22, 30 25, 6 15, 25 11, and eventually 
wins. 

c. There is more fight in jumping 17 10, but analysis 
will show a win for Black. 

cl. Black by holding the advantage from note c finally 
wins.

27 18, 6 10, 30 26, 1 6, 25 22, and the position is

а. A trappy line of play from which some very intricate 
positions evolve. 

б. A sound rejoinder, varying at once from the ortho¬ 
dox, 4 8 or 9 14 lines. 

c. 22 17 here is undoubtedly the safest continuation. 
Refer to Game 36, Var. 3. 

d. White misses a good opportunity here to develop the 
piece on 25. Should Black take the shot by 14 18, 
White seems to get rather the better of the ending; 
if Black refuses it, then 23 19 comes in more effect¬ 
ively. 


e. No hope after this. 24 20 draws easily, thus:

a. Both 17 14 and 23 18 involve play of a high order, 
though the latter is now pretty well covered by P. P. 


—77— 


b. Admits of tremendous scope for White and it may 
not be inadvisable to restrict this by 16 19. 

c. In the Fifth International Match, England vs. Scot¬ 
land, 1910, A, Jordan ventured 23 18 against R. 
Jordan, the late Champion of the World, with a 
drawn result. See Var. 5, 

d. 31 26 was the popular continuation in the Interna¬ 
tional, Great Britain vs. United States, 1905. See 
Game 13, Ferrie-Denvir. The move in the text was 
first introduced in an important session in this coun¬ 
try during the Second American Tourney, 1912, by 
Louis C. Ginsberg vs. A. Jordan in the second round, 
with a drawn result. The play in question, however, 
seems to be original with N. Currie, who tried it on 
G. Buchanan in a Scottish tourney to a draw.

Buchanan misses a simple win here by 8 12 instead of

Same as Game. 

c. 26 22 only draws, but 24 20 is now recognized as 
White’s strongest reply. 

d. 17 14 is best at once, but in any case White’s position 
is precarious. 


Var. 1. 

14 18 is a strong line, as played between W. K. Campbell 
vs. A. Jordan, thus: 14 18, 23 14, 10 17, 27 23, 7 10, 
23 19, 3 7, 26 23, 8 11, 31 26, 17 21 (5 9, 25 22, 9 14

a. Varies from preceding game and allows Black more 
variety. 

b. The position is now a cross-choice, colors reversed 
brought up thus: 11 15, 23 18, 9 14, 18 11, 8 15, 
22 18, 15 22, 25 9, 5 14, 29 25, 4 8, 25 22, 8 11, etc. 


—80— 


c. 24 20 coaxes the play into a sound line of the De¬ 
fiance. 

d. While the play on this game has been previously 
published, yet the fact that both players were on 
original ground reflects considerable credit.

a. A very safe defensive line, though rather unpopular 
with the present-day experts. 

b. 11 15 is the move here and seems to eliminate all of 
the weaknesses following the text move. 


c. 27 23 is strong here, but the move played is so of¬ 
fensive that it requires the most careful management 
on Black’s part to maintain an equal position. 


d. The dangerous spot at this point; the piece should 
be held back until after the run-off by 1 6 and 6 10, 
thus:

б. In an effort to throw the game off standard lines. 

c. Inviting further complication. 19 23, 26 19, 11 15, 
etc., seems to simplify matters. See Lieberman vs.

a. A popular line of attack, although the amount of 
play published on it does not warrant its strength. 


b . 27 23, though a trifle inferior to the text move in 
point of strength, is, however, more restricting. 

c. 7 10, 20 16, 2 7e, *16 12, 14 18, *21 17, and we 
have the memorable position between Jordan and 
Pomeroy. The former played 9 14 and lost. See 
Pomeroy-Jordan Match Games Book, 1914. Note if 
Black plays 9 13, the following pretty stroke occurs: 


—85— 



15 11, 8 15, 27 23, 18 27, 32 16, 13 22, 25 2. White wins. 

d. This is old published play to this point. A more 
tricky continuation is 4 8, then if 20 16, 8 12, 16 11, 
2 7, 11 2, 1 6, 2 9, 5 23 Black wins. If instead of 
20 16, White plays 18 15, then 2 7 and 20 16 loses 
again by 8 12, etc. 

e . 14 18 is better and draws.

a. This is the most popular way of playing this line of 
the “Kelso.” 

b. 27 23 is also quite an interesting variation from 
which very fine play accrues. 


—sc— 







c. If tourneys of the past are a criterion, then it might 
safely be said that 4 8 at this stage is best. The 
text move, however, has figured in quite a lot of 
English and Scotch tourneys and matches of the past. 

d. White has several good lines of play here; 28 24 is 


as 

good as any, thus:

a. Very good for a defensive game and allows plenty of 
scope for both sides. 

b. 9 14 as played by Henderson vs. Ginsberg is more 
usually played, although the text move is perfectly 
sound. 

c. Very weak. 9 14, 25 22, 7 10, 22 18, 3 8 is very 
much better and runs into the Pioneer opening as fol¬ 
lows: 11 15, 22 17, 8 11, 17 13, 11 16, 24 19, 15 24, 
28 19, 9 14, 25 22, 7 11, 22 18, 3 8. Drawn. 

d. It is quite apparent that Black’s game is theoretically 
a wreck, but the manner in which the White pieces 
are manipulated from here to the end are not un¬ 
worthy of notice. 

e. 6 9 also wins, and perhaps is better than the text 


move.

a. Well termed the “Dundee Switcher,” involving as it 
does the vicissitudes characteristic of both openings. 
Modern two-move play, however, seems to give both 
an equal game. 

b. The result of application and experience. 24 20, of 
course, is sound at this point, yet the labyrinth of 
combinations ensuing from the play in question seems 
unfavorable to the second side. See next game. 

c. The cut line and relieves both sides of any impending 
danger.

e. The key move. 31 26 loses by the two for two. 

/. 14 17 is also good, but White just seems to draw on 

every variation from Note e. 

g. The copy stops here, but a moment’s review of the 
position will warrant the fact that White can start- 
the piece on 20 with safety at the right time to secure 
the draw.

a. 

In a 

match 

with N. W. Banks 

for the 

American 


championship and a side wager of $500, Mr. Hen¬ 
derson played 24 20 at this point and the game pro¬ 
ceeded thus: 5 9, 25 21, 11 15, 20 11, 7 16, 22 18, 
15 22, 17 14, 9 18, 23 7, b2 11, 26 17, 13 22, 30 26. 
See Banks-Henderson match. 

b. The correcting move, 3 10, was taken by Horr vs. 
O’Grady in their match with a drawn result, and a 
game on similar lines was also played between J. C. 
Brown, the Border champion, and J. Ferrie, ex¬ 
champion of the world. 

c. As played by Jordan vs. Banks in their recent match.

a. Now the regular 8 11 line of the Bristol. 

b. 14 17 is a good alternative here, and brings up some 
very instructive positions. The text move should be 
invariably held back until the piece on 27 is moved, 
otherwise the impending cramped positions by 22 17, 
etc., inevitably follows.

c. Bowen’s Bristol gives 21 17 as a sound alternative. 
See Var. 500. 

d. Loses; the play to draw is very instructive. See dia¬ 
gram.

e. Although this formation can come up four other ways 
from the same opening, yet Nelson’s method of en¬ 
ticing the white pieces in this unwary position is 
quite interesting.

a. Of late an unpopular line of the Bristol, though the 
preponderance of wins seems to favor neither side. 

b. 8 11 is the best play at this point. Heffner, however, 
to the contrary. See Denvir-Ferrie, International 
Match, Great Britain vs. United States, 1905.

Decidedly weak at this stage. 8 11 instead would 
bring the play back into regular lines, thus:

a. An old-timer which is pretty well understood by the 
experts. 

b. 8 11 at this stage was a favorite of the late C. F. 
Barker and played whenever the opportunity pre¬ 
sented itself. See Var. 1. 

c. The popular move here is to take the 2 for 2 by 19 16, 
which leads to a tame draw. The text move was first 
introduced by Martins, who played it against Wyllie 
in one of their matches. 

d. The easiest continuation here would run via 11-16, 
etc. Draw.

a. The text move is the most popular, although 11 16, 
9 13 and 6 10 as played in the next game also draws. 

5. The best move here for White is 21 17, and Black 
must reply with 9 13 (if instead of 9 13 Black plays 
either 6 10 or 4 8, White gets a strong game by 17 13) 
then 30 25, 13 22, 25 11, 7 16, 24 20, 3 8, 20 11, 8 15. 
Drawn. 

c. Varies from Ginsberg-Banks game where the former 
played 2 6, which also draws. 

d. The game has been played on published lines all 
through except with a little variation on the ending.

h. White makes an attempt to break through; to do 
anything else would be a matter of time before Black 
crowns the man on 3 and eventually winning. 

i. The position is worthy of diagram and makes quite

a. This attack has just a neutral effect since neither has 
as yet gained command of the center. 

b. 29 25 is more frequently adopted, though the text 
move has figures in some important contests. 

c. Varies from published analysis and seems to be an 
excellent departure from conventional play. The suc¬ 
ceeding play reflects great credit on the abilities of 
both players. Wyllie in his match with J. Ferrie

а. A powerful line; the position requires very careful

tempt to force pressure on Black’s weakened double 
corner. 

б. 26 22 is much better here. See Shearer’s Handbook

a. 16 19 forms the Dyke. The text, however, permits 
of plenty of scope for the original player. 

b. Leaves all published play as far as text-books are 
concerned. 

c. A good original game and played well by both sides.

а. Varies from preceding game and brings the play back 
to well known lines. 

б. 11 16 is a good alternative. 

c. Schaefer’s Dyke at this stage gives 30 26 as the only 
move to draw. 

cl. The text move is considered better than 7 11, as 
Black has a chance to go wrong, thus:

W. W. D’Orio vs. Henderson. 


i. See game No, 58 for correct continuation. 

j. 15 19 may be better, but Black does not look strong 
enough to win. 

k. Corrects Henderson in Second American Tourney, 
Game 84, note /, at fourth move, where 10 6 is played, 
which allows a draw by 3 7. The 16 12 move sus¬ 
tains the White win.

a. Into the regular “Paisley Break.” 

b. This cut is more generally played after 25 21 and 
26 23 are played. 

c. 11 15 is strong here, but the text move gives Black 
adequate opportunity. 

d. Brilliantly conceived. 

e. Either 25 22 or 25 21 would give White the laboring

a. The Flora Temple line, one of the strongest attacks 
of the Single-Corner opening. 

b. Very unusual at this point; it is generally played after 
25 22, Black having moved 16 20. 

c. 16 20 would run the game back into an old published 
line which admits of a preponderance of Black wins. 

d. This gives White the better game; 8 12 is the pub¬ 
lished dope to draw. 

e. Geckler could have scored from the Internationalist, 
thus: 11 7, 4 8, 7 3, 6 10, 2 6, 15 18, 6 15, 18 27,

of the White pieces. 

c. N. W. Banks played the more regular line ensuing 
from 16 20, vs. Alf. Jordan, at Cedar Point, the latter 
replying 31 27, g6 9, 32 28, 9 18, 23 14, 10 15, 
etc. Eventually drawn. 

d. Differing slightly from the older route, thus: 12 16, 

24 20, 18 22, 25 18, 16 19, 23 16, 10 15, 27 23, 

15 22, 14 10, 6 15, 31 26, 22 31, 32 27, 31 24, 

28 10, 7 14, 17 10, 2 7, 16 12*, 7 14, 23 19. Drawn. 

Shearer's Handbook 

e. The fancy draw is 6 10 first; now, if 24 20 Black 
seems to draw safely and if 25 21, 10 17, 21 14, 

16 20, 31 26, 8 11, 23 19, 12 16, 19 12, 18 22, 

26 17, 11 15, White reciprocates with 12 8, 3 12, 

13 9, 7 10. Drawn.

/. A very good alternative here is 1 6, then 25 21, 

15 18, 30 25, dll 16*, 17 13, 10 17, 21 14, el6 20, 

23 19, 18 22, 25 18, 6 10, 14 9. Drawn. 

g. Introducing F. Tescheleit’s move, Jordan offers the 
following figures as published play: 8 11, 25 22, 
hS 8, 30 25*, i6 9. Drawn. 

h. Apparently with the intention of eliminating Strick¬ 
land’s line at this point, who gives 11 16 first. 

i. Again, this departs from the regular continuation, 

thus: 11 15, 23 18, 8 11, 25 21, 6 9, 17 13, 10 26, 

19 3, 26 31, 13 6, 1 10, 3 8, 10 15, 18 14, 15 19, 

etc. Drawn, Lees-Kirk. 

j. Apparently untenable; the more natural play is 8 11, 
21 17, 18 22, 17 13, 19 24, 32 28, 11 15, and the 
position draws, White having the move. D’Orio vs. 
Lieberman, Kansas City, Mo., 1913.

а. 17 13 is very much better as it stops Black from tak¬ 
ing the double exchange by 15 19, etc. 

б. 27 23, 8 12, 23 16, 12 19, 17 14, 10 17, 32 27, 7 11, 
27 23 may draw as in “Jordan’s American Match 
Games Book.” 

c. 31 27 don’t look very encouraging if followed by 
9 14, so 16 12 is as good as any. 

d. Black misses a win: 14 18, 31 27, 18 25, 30 21, 
15 18, 24 15, 10 19, 21 17, 7 10, 27 24, 18 22.

a. A strong line of play which seems to net Black the 
majority of wins; 6 10, however, is more restricting 
and therefore employed in match play to a more con¬ 
siderable extent.

6. The multitudinous possibilities emanating from the 
26 10 take are well worthy careful consideration. The 
following beautiful variation on the 26 10 capture 
was played between A. Jordan vs. Hugh Henderson

a. It is surprising that in view of the frequency that 
this opening was balloted in the American tourney 
that the 3 8 line, popularized by J. D’Orio, was not 
patronized at all. Perhaps the last game played by 
Mr. D’Orio on this line in the Central West was in 
a subscription match with H. Lieberman for a purse 


of $50.00.

a. The text move, while not as popular as the routine 
8 12 followed by 9 14, is nevertheless sound for a 
draw. The late R. Jordan, champion of the world, 
played it against R. Stewart in their match. 

b. Stewart varied here with 29 25 in the aforemen¬ 
tioned game. See Var. 1. 

c. 18 14, 19 23, 21 17, 24 27, 10 7, 3 10, 14 7, is bet¬ 
ter and would admit of more winning possibility.

a. Teeming with intricate formations. H. F. Shearer 
considers this an inferior line. C. F. Barker tried 
it on J. Drouillard in their match, but since then it 
has not figured much in important contests. 

b. Considered very weak. Jas. Ferrie vs. A. Jordan in 
the finals of the Scottish Tourney. Continued 8 12, 
27 24, 11 16, 20 11, 7 16, 31 27, c3 8, 26 22. White 
wins.

7 11, 26 22, 19 26, 30 23, 6 9, 13 6, 2 9, 17 13, 16 20

a. The play up to this point is regular. The continuation 
is 4 8, 25 22, 2 6, 22 17, 19 24, as in standard works. 
However, this cut is not unsound and contains many 
interesting points.

cl. A. Jordan played 22 17 vs. L. Ginsberg, coaxing it

a. 

Undoubtedly 

a strong 

line of play. 

Once 

in 

the 


meshes of this formation, White must tread carefully. 
P. B. Perry, in the Second American Tourney, played 
7 11 here vs. A. Jordan in the preliminary round. 


— 118 — 


Jordan replied 23 18, 14 23, 17 14, 10 17, 19 10, and 
after an ending that lasted over two hours, Black 


secured 

a draw. 

5 9 is 

a good departure 

and leads 

to some beautiful published play,

a. Quite a favorite line some years ago, but it has been 
hammered to such an extent of late years that experts 
are beginning to doubt its soundness. 

b. One of the powerful attacks to the 10 15 line. There 
is little play published on this line, however, to war¬ 
rant its strength. 25 22 inaugurates a powerful cen¬ 
ter via 6 10, 23 19, 11 16, etc. 

c. 15 18 is bad on account of 24 20, 11 15, 28 24, 8 11, 
26 22, 4 8, 23 19, 6 10, 21 17. White wins.

26 23 would be very much better, but it only draws. 
By playing 19 15, Dempsey has set for himself a task 
to secure the draw. 

A brilliant move, drawing an apparently lost game 
in expert fashion.

а. The routine line which permits of little deviation. 

б. 26 23 draws easily (see all standard works), but the 
move in the text may have been taken to confuse his 
youthful opponent. 

c. The crushing move—upon the same theory that Rey¬ 
nolds should have scored from Henderson in the 
“Prelim” of the last American Tournament at Cedar 
Point, 0. 

d. Here the youngest contestant in the American Tour¬ 
ney (16 years of age) could have won from the 
“Internationalist” with 15 18, 30 25, 23 26, 11 7, 
18 23, 7 2, 14 18, 2 7, 10 15. Black wins. 

e. Again Black should force the play by 23 27.

a. Good ideas result from this line. It may be ques¬ 
tioned whether this or 22 18 is best. 

b. This and 26 22 have figured equally in the games 
played on this opening. 

c. The power in the game, if 22 18 is played. Black 
replies 6 9, 13 6, 1 10 and has an equal game. A. 
Jordan scored from J. Drouillard in their Subscrip¬ 
tion Match at San Francisco, varying from Note <1, 
but Harrigan was fully equal to the emergency. 

cl. J. Drouillard played 4 8, 25 22, 8 11, 22 18, 6 9, 13 6, 
1 10, 32 28 and White wins.

a. Generally adopted and is probably best, although 
12 16 and 6 9 are played frequently. 


b. Poor.

c. White 

is very powerful. 

If Black can draw, it is of 


a problematical nature. 

d. White misses the sequel to Note c .. 18 14, 11 16, 
23 18, 7 11, 14 7, 3 10, 18 14. White wins. 

e. The Black win is now quite evident. White must 
crown on 1 and Black retaliates with 9 14 and even¬ 
tually wins by holding the pieces on 12 and 28 on the 
side.

as

Game 1 is very 

much better. 

It 


is questionable if the text move will draw. 


b. Black has several moves, but they all give a weak 
ending. If 2 7, then 20 16, 6 9, 14 10, 7 14, 16 11, 
White wins; or if 4 8, then 29 25, 2 7, 25 21, and 
White is strong enough to win. 

c. Hill forces the win in creditable style.

b. Mr. Valentine avoids the boomerang by 16 19, 3 7, 
2 11, 18 14, removing eight pieces. There may be a 
White win lurking somewhere, but the play is cer¬ 
tainly very complicated, and considering the unnat¬ 
ural setting of the pieces as well as the grotesque 
situation, both players have managed the ending ad¬ 
mirably. 

c. Loses. 31 26 draws.

a. For defensive purposes this move is very good, as it 
does not allow as much scope as 7 11 or 5 9. 


b. 26 22 is generally played here in important games, 
although the text move is good enough. Here is an 
example of 26 22:

a. Not as popular as 11 16, as played in the next game, 
but leads to a fairly even game. 

b. All of the works published on the game in the last 
decade seem to have passed up this move and treat 
only on 17 13 at this stage. If published play is a 


— 149 — 


good criterion, then it would seem that 17 14 is by 
far the best move here, as it is universally adopted 
by the leading experts in important contests. See 
Variation 1 for play on 17 13. 
c. The most natural continuation. Shearer’s handbook 
shows the following draw on 1 6:

a. The line adopted by A. Jordan vs. N. W. Banks at 
Kansas City, Mo. 

b. Mr. Valentine cleverly sidesteps the weak White line 
that accrues from the 26 22, 31 26 formation. 

c. 30 26 is the best move at this stage, requiring Black 
to play carefully to draw. 

d. 11 15, 18 11, 7 16, and, curiously enough, the posi¬ 
tion now is identical to a 12 16, 22 18, colors re¬

Compare this position with the trunk at nineteenth 
move and note the difference. In the game as played 
4 8 is out and 1 6 held back; therefore, White can 
cut 26 22 and plant his piece on 17 in a crushing 
attack; but as the position stands at note / White 
can gain no advantage with the 26 22 cut, as 6 9 
in reply prevents 22 17.

a. This move was introduced by A. B. Scott, and al¬ 
though secondary to 24 20 in strength, it has some 
cute points. 

5. Of course, if 9 14, then 11 7, 2 11, 31 27, 24 31, 
22 17, etc., White wins. The key to the position is 
to leave the piece on 16 and run the other man to 
square 28.

a. There is very little published play on this line, al¬ 
though it has figured to some extent in tournament 
play. It also found some favor with C. F. Barker.

b. In the First American Tourney in Boston, Mass., in 
1907, H. B. Reynolds played 24 20 against C. F. 
Barker. In the Second American Tourney L. Gins¬

here thus: 12 19, 18 11, 7 16, 25 22, dl6 20, 17 13,

24 20 10 15 26 22 19 24 B. W. 

15 18 16 17 26 28 19 

a. This was generally considered a restful move, as the 
pending succession of variations are evenly balanced. 

b. In the Canadian-American Correspondence Tourna¬ 
ment 7 11 was played, perhaps with the intention of 
coaxing 30 25, 16 20, 22 17, 20 24, 27 20, 11 16, 
and Black looks good enough to force the game; how¬ 
ever, 22 17 instead of 30 25 may render the Black 
game untenable.

c. 10 14, 26 10, 7 14, 29 25, 3 7, 25 22, 7 10 is also 
a sound continuation; however, Dunne's Praxis, page 
178, Part 3, Variation 17, continuing the play after 
7 10 to a draw, has been proven unsound. 

In another game the play was 2 6, 26 17, 10 14, 
17 10, 7 14, 29 25, 6 9 and an even game resulted.

23 30, 15 10, 7 11, 10 7, drawn.

b. In the Banks-Jordan match the break by 18 15 was 
played. 

c. In the semi-finals, Ginsberg played 32 28 against 
Henderson with a drawn result. 

d. H. Freedman, in his match with R. Jordan for the 
world’s championship, played 10 6 with a drawn re¬ 
sult. This pitch, however, is not to be recommended. 
If 32 27, the play merges with a Hefter-Freeman 
game. (Var. 1.)

And White eventually won 


b. “Alt’s” favorite line of the Double-Corner Dyke. 

c. Nelson apparently attempts drastic measures to re¬ 
cover lost ground. The move in the text reflects 
credit upon Nelson’s judgment in departing from 
orthodox lines. In fact, this may be termed a “cook” 
of a high order, and not unlikely from the “cook-shop” 
of the Brooklyn expert. See Game 75, J. Howe vs. 
J. Dempsey, for other lines covering this move; also 
Game 65, Tanner vs. Ginsberg.

a. A subtle move; if Black replies 11 16, 26 22 is given 
to win; however, if Black replies 11 15 then 25 22 
is best as referred to in note b. 

b. A decidedly weak move; 25 22 is the correct play 
and is given in all two-move works on the game. 

c. An absolute loss; 32 28 followed by 31 26 draws 
narrowly, but the play can hardly be recommended. 

d. 22 18, 14 17, 21 14, 10 17, e32 28, 7 10, 28 19, 
17 22. B. W. 

e. It will be noted that in Game 148, between Jordan 
and Nelson, the piece is on square 30 instead of on 
29 as in this game, and therefore draws by 18 14, 
as provided for in notes / and g.

the stronger, although White seems to just get

a. 7 10, as played in Game 13 of the International 
match (Great Britain vs. United States) between 
Ferrie and Denvir, is undoubtedly the safest.

b. Varies from R. Jordan, who played 23 19 against 
R. Stewart in their match for the world’s champion¬ 
ship, and the following comment by the annotators 
of this match is given: “Original with Mr. G. Sned¬ 
don of Carronshore. It initiates one of the strongest 
and most puzzling attacks we have ever come across 
in this opening.” See Variation 1 for play on 23 19. 

c. 19 15 is also good. The following play from the R.

b. All book. This game is identical with Game 22, Var. 
18, in Alexander and Rear’s Encyclopedia, Ferrie vs. 
Freedman; also similar to Game 15, Banks-Jordan 
match, and Game 13, Ferrie vs. Denvir, 1905 Inter¬ 
national. Heffner points out that if instead of 14 18 
Black plays 1 6, 11 15, then 25 29 is a star move; 
25 30 losing thus: 25 30, 31 26, 30 23, 15 18, 6 10,

White wins. 

a. Allows more scope than 25 21 as played in previous 


game. 

b. D’Orio essayed 30 25 against Henderson in their 
match in Boston and lost, although a draw was later 
shown by the following play:

c. A “cook” of the highest order which would stagger 
anyone the first time. 

d. If White refuses the 2 for 1, then Black scores, thus: 
24 20, 4 8, 32 27, 8 12, 27 24, 3 7, 24 19, 15 24, 
28 19, 11 15, 20 11, 7 16, 22 18, 15 22, 25 9, 
13 22, 26 17, 6 22. Black wins. 

e. It is difficult to say whether this is a cook or an at¬ 
tempt to get away from the regular routine. (See 
Game 31.) 

/. Loses immediately. 9 14 puts up more fight, but does 
not alter the final result.

enough to win.

decidedly best. 

In the International Match 


of 1905 R. Jordan played the move in the text against 
Horr and should have lost. The play on 25 22 runs 


thus:

and White just draws. 

d. If 26 17, then 1 6, 17 13, 15 18. Black wins.

e. Any advantage that White has disappears after this 
move. By playing 19 16, 12 19, 23 16, 8 12, 16 11, 

7 16, 20 11, 1 6, 11 8, 6 13, White secures a powerful 
game with a man down. The play, which is old, was 
probably new to Wendemuth, and not being able to 
penetrate its intricacies, played safe. 

/. Quite an unusual slip for Banks to make. Of course, 

8 11 gives Black a good game. 

g. The Chicago expert gets all there is out of the posi¬ 
tion and forces Banks to give a rare exhibition of 
scientific checkers from this point to the finish. 

h. If 15 18, then 22 25, 29 22, 28 32, 18 27, 32 23,

а. Varies from preceding game and allows Black plenty 
of scope. Tanner, being a game down, makes a des¬ 
perate effort to retrieve. 

б. Very weak, and probably the loss can be checked up 
to this move. 31 26 is preferable. 

c. Very powerful, and improves a Jordan-Henderson 
game where the former played 7 10 and won, but a 
draw was shown later. See notes to Game 79. 

d. The sequel to Note c. 

e. All that’s left.

b. The correct rejoinder. 6 10 would lose by 30 26, 
10 17, 22 6, etc. 

c. 9 13 was played here in Game 14. 

d. The play is old and has been threshed out years ago.

a. Usually adopted, as it throws the game into well 
known lines. However, some strong play springs 
from 26 23. 


6. The correct move against 24 19. It would lose, how¬ 
ever, in reply to 25 22 as played in the preceding 
game. 

c. All published play.

b. 8 11 is very good. If White replies 17 14, then 11 15, 
Black wins. See Game 117.

b. Hill, probably on strange ground, makes an effort to

c. After this Black gets an equal game with possibili¬ 
ties galore. Play on 32 28 was published in the 
Inter-Ocean by the late C. E. Welen. The following

/. 32 27, 16 19, 9 14, 19 28, 14 7. Black wins by second 

position. 

g. 16 19 is much better, as Black must play very care¬ 
fully to win. 

h. Reynolds misses an easy win, thus: 7 10, 25 22, 
10 15, 21 17, 14 21, 23 18, 20 24. B. wins.

the text move is safer. There is an unlimited field to

splendid game.

g. Looks like the only move to draw. 

h. White has several lines of play but Black gets a fine 
ending against anything. 

i. Analysis may show a Black win in this ending.

Variation 1 shows another good White line. 


— 211 — 


b. The amateur must note this position carefully. With 
the piece off the square 30, then 11 16 is the correct 
move, but if White goes 28 24 intsead of 30 26, 11 16 
is bad, and 4 8 is best. 

c. The play is forced on both sides, and neither can leave 
the beaten path without danger. 


32 27 is 

slightly stronger, but only draws.

a. 8 12 is more popular, yet the text admits of some 
neat mid-game play. 

b. 17 13 appears stronger, but the text move is very 
good. 

c. A good original game. The greater part of the play 
seems forced after note b and admits of very little 
variety.

straight draw. 

c. Does not look best, yet appears sound. 

cl. Black has several good moves, but all appear to 
admit of a draw.

escaped with the piece on 22.

succeeds in getting a fine position. 

b. A tricky move, and develops a magnificent mid-game 
combination. 

c. The awkward move that saves the White game. 

d. Forced. 

e. Best; 25 22 would lose by 32 27, 31 24, 16 20.

h. 


Jordan plays for a sure draw and takes no chances. 
15 19 would also draw, and by playing for a long end 
game might eventually win. 

A magnificent game. 

The position is worthy of a diagram owing to the 
peculiar situation of the men. Black has a king and 
almost a solid king row. 



White to play and draw. 


Mr. Lieberman played 19 16. The natural move, 
25 22, loses by 20 24, 27 20, 32 27. 

Continue play in text: 9 13, 18 9, 10 15, 16 11, 
6 10, 11 8, then Jordan played 10 14; instead go 
15 19, 23 16, 32 23, 8 4, 10 15, 4 8, 15 18, 9 5, 23 19, 
5 1 or 8 11, and Black, though a man down, has the 
best ending. 

This game was one of the finest played in the 
tourney, and had any brilliancy prizes been given, 
Mr. Lieberman would have probably headed the list 
with this game.

a. Now into a regular Glasgow; 6 9 would have formed 
the Souter. See Var. 1 for play on an interesting and 
instructive line of this opening. 

b. 3 7 is more usual, yet Jordan preferred 3 8, as it is 
not so well known. 

c. Probably White’s strongest line. 

d. As good as anything and leads to an equal game. 

e. Best. If 4 8, then 13 9, 6 13, 27 24, and White has 
the better game. 

/. Leads to an easy draw. 

g. The play for the greater part has been regular, and 
very little chance to put on anything new.

26 22, 16 19, 23 16, 12 19, 22 18, 15 22, 24 6, 
22 26, 6 2, 26 31, 2 7, 31 24, 28 19, and White 
has a fine ending. H. Lieberman. 

b. Mr. Jordan was expecting 26 22, with a simple draw 
by the stroke 15 18, followed by 14 18, but the text 
move gives White an elegant ending. 

c. It is difficult to pick the best move here; 23 18 looks 
very good. 

d. Again 23 18 looks powerful, but Black seems to sneak 
through on every variation. 

e. This is a remarkable position. The Black moves are 
all practically forced and yet has a narrow draw. 

/. A highly instructive game.

White wins 

a. Not so safe as 16 20, yet admits of more complica¬ 
tions and was adopted for that reason. 

b. 8 11 is preferable, as it limits the White attack. 

c. Considered an absolute loss. 

d. White has several powerful moves. 

e. At first glance Black’s game looks hopeless, yet White 
must play carefully to maintain any advantage. 

/. All chances to draw seem to disappear after this 
move. The position is diagrammed with the play 
for a draw: 



Black to play and draw.

and although a piece down, Black seems to draw. 
g. Banks overlooked the fact that Jordan could line up 
for the exchange. 24 27 may still hold out hope for 
a draw.

Henderson played 24 19, followed by 32 28, as 
shown in game. In looking over other possible moves 
one will be surprised to see how easily White can get 
a bad game. 13 9 appears to lose by 12 16; if 26 22, 


— 244 — 










again 12 16 seems to win, so White’s only good move 
outside of 24 19 is 26 23, and Black gets a fine game 
by 15 19 or 1 6.

a. Ginsberg, a game down, immediately forces things. 

b. Henderson was well posted on this opening and his 
mode of attack and defense showed excellent prep¬ 
aration. 

c. Improves the Jordan vs. Banks game, where 26 19 
was played. 

d. The position becomes very interesting and is dia¬ 
grammed : 



Black to play. 


8 11 as given in the notes to the match game be¬ 
tween Jordan and Banks is also very good, but being 
a game down, Ginsberg had to take the game into 
strange ground. 

e. This ended one of the most spectacular series of the 
entire tourney.

a. Banks scored a win off Reynolds with this move a 
few days previous to the Jordan vs. Henderson series. 

b. Varies from the Banks vs. Reynolds game and was 
played by Peter Doran against Henderson in the pre¬ 
liminary round. 

c. This position is worthy of a diagram and admits of 
some neat play:

there is no way to force a win. 

e. Mr. Henderson forces the win in fine style from this 
point. 

/. After a most protracted session lasting over five 
hours, Mr. Henderson was greeted by a thundering 
applause from the onlookers upon the completion of 
his magnificent win which won the title and Leader 
loving cup the second time.

Drawn 

a. Jordan elects to play the “Boston” line. It will be 
observed that both players chose the same attack. As 
a rule, this is bad tactics, especially in an opening 
where there are such a variety of strong attacks. 

b. The following instructive play on 10 14 is taken from 
Rear’s Encyclopedia: 

10 14 31 27 8 11 25 9 14 23 20 11 

25 22 15 22 18 5 14 27 18 7 16 

11 15 30 25 15 22 23 18 11 16 Drawn 

R. Jordan vs. Crookston 

c. 10 15 followed by 11 16 draws easily enough. 

d. Jordan tries to trap Henderson, similar to the Rey- 
nolds-Banks game in the second round. 


e. 12 16 would lose by 21 17, and would form the posi¬ 
tion that Reynolds lost to Banks. 

/. After this Black secures an easy game. 

g. Henderson drew the game, amid great applause.

Commenting on this take, Shearer remarks: “This 
relieves White from his difficulties l . ,, An examination 
of the succeeding play, however, makes this way of 
capturing so hazardous that it requires delicate han¬ 
dling on White’s part to draw. 

The “cook” to beat the (23 19) move. 

27 24 draws thus (Dempsey’s Anti-Cook) :

19 12 18 22 23 18 10 17 31 26 38 

Drawn 
J. Dempsey 

The powerful sacrifice, probably overlooked by Mr. 
Shearer, which places White immediately on the de¬ 
fensive. Mr. O’Grady no doubt saw the strength of 
the impending sacrifice. 

Submitted by J. Dempsey to draw and correct 24 19 
followed by 19 15, which was previously published as 
a forced Black win. 


If 8 11, then 31 27 is played.

a. This line of attack has caused considerable comment 
in view of the Henderson-Jordan, Doran-Jordan 
cooks and counter-cooks published on this line. Jor¬ 
dan lost the White side in each case. This move is 
powerful and the White position requires delicate 
handling. 

b. Being a game down, Mr. O’Grady takes an off line, 
which, however, has some interesting points. 

c. Play on this move was published by H. Lieberman 
in the Baseball Bulletin and Athletic Review about 
five years ago. 7 10 is played in Shearer’s Hand¬ 
book, page 88, Trunk.

is not recommended. The move at Note d is re¬

а. An aggressive line of play and urges some very com¬ 
plicated formations especially exploited by L. S. Head. 

б. 27 23 has been favored in match play, perhaps owing 
to the fact that it lessens Black's possibilities, viz., 
Jordan-Ferrie and Tanner-D’Orio matches. 

c. With a slight deviation, this game is a repetition of 
Game 47, Tanner vs. Nelson.

a. This move is generally played after 4 8. 

b. Now 4 8 is the accepted move. It is difficult to under¬ 
stand the meaning of the sacrifice at this stage, espe¬ 
cially in view of the nature of this formation. There 
are no less than forty positions arising from divers 
openings that permit of such a stroke. See Var. 1 
for the draw play after 4 8:

escaped with a narrow draw, but should have lost.

b. Loses. Reynolds passes up a clean-icqt draw by

F. Hopewell, in the San Francisco Post. 

c. Hanson could have qualified for fifth or sixth prize 
by simply playing his king 32 27, 22 18, 30 26, and 
Reynolds would have been compelled to resign the 
game and his place in the tourney.

a. This is a very 

good line, 

and in 

point of 

strength 


is slightly superior to 8 11. 

b. Inferior to 29 25, but quite popular on account of 
its restricting advantages. 

c. The text move is poor for an attempt to regain lost 
ground. 1 6, as played by Henderson vs. Banks, 
seems to give more winning possibilities.

а. 22 18 is considered best, yet the text move is equally 
as strong and has more winning chances, as the ma¬ 
jority of players do not know it as well. 

б. 26 22 is a great favorite with Mr. Lieberman, and it 
seems strange he should play 25 22. 

c. The 12 16 cut is more frequently played. 

d. The end game seems forced from this point.

Both 

players prefer 

■the 

text move 

to 12 

16. 




b. This move is equally as good as 23 19, and was a 
great favorite with the late C. F. Barker.

c. Barker preferred 24 20, which is stronger. 

cl. Mr. Reynolds plays the game very fine from this 
point and draws very neatly. 

e. A good original game.

a. Varies from preceding game and is not to be recom¬

b. White should lose after this. 22 17 is very much 
better, but a satisfactory draw for White would be 
hard to show.

а, 6 10 is another strong line, and involves quite an 
amount of play. 

б. Varies from preceding game where 26 23 is played. 
The text move was probably played to get away from 
published dope. 

c. If 22 17, then 14 18. Black wins. 

d. An evenly contested cross-board game.

Drawn 

a. This move caused quite a controversy many years 
ago as to whether it was sound for a draw. 


b. J. Bertie gave a lot of play to show that 11 16 was 
a draw, but it is possible that Bertie’s play may be 
improved upon. 

c. 28 24 should win, thus: 28 24, 6 9, 30 25, 9 18, 
17 14, 10 17, 19 10, 7 14, 22 15. White wins. P. P.

24 15, 10 19, 23 16, 8 12, 27 23, 12 19, 23 16, 14 17

is preferable. 

b. About as good as any. 

c. Loses outright; 22 18 is much better, but it is doubt¬ 
ful whether it would alter the result.

a. 11 16 is very much better and runs into the Double 
Corner. 

b. 23 19, 16 23, 27 9, 5 14, 26 23 is very powerful and 
analysis will undoubtedly show a win for White. 

c. 32 28 is safer, thus:

28 24, 1 5, 24 20, 15 24, 23 19. Drawn. 

e. An unusual shot which gives Black the better posi¬ 
tion, but still White can draw.

a. This way of playing the Kelso-Cross insures less com¬ 
plications than the usual 21 17 move. 

b. 30 26 is probably stronger. See note to Game 187. 

c. Appears new. It is hard to tell whether this is a 
“Cook” or just an attempt to throw the game into 
original lines; 16 20, as played in Game 30, is gen¬ 
erally adopted. 

d. This exchange takes the heart out of the White game.

a. Barnes again starts something. 

b. Cramps Black’s game. 8 12, 18 9, 5 14 would give 
a more open game. 

c. The beginning of the weakness in the Black forma¬ 
tion; 11 15, 18 11, 8 24, 28 19 would again give Black 
an open game. 

d. White seems to miss a win, thus: 19 15, 7 10, 15 11, 
10 15, 11 8, 5 11, 28 24. White wins.

a. 

This 

is perhaps the most perplexing of all the two- 


move openings. 

b. The next game varied with 24 20, 8 11, c25 22, 14 17, 
27 24, d 10 14, 24 19, 15 24, 28 19, el7 21, 22 18, 1 5, 
18 9, 5 14, 26 22, 7 10, 22 17, and White won. 

c. 28 24, then 14 17, and White can get in a strong line 
via 25 21, 10 14, etc. See Game 193, notes c and d. 
By Hawkins. 

d. Bad; 1 5, 32 27, 5 9, 23 18, 10 14, 27 23, 7 10, 24 19, 
etc. Drawn. A. J. Heffner. 

This play arises from two different Kelso for¬ 
mations, especially as referred to in Alexander and 
Kear’s (10 15) Encyclopaedia, page 254, Var. 21. 
Also refer to note a, Game 37, Kelso Exchange. Pat¬ 
terson vs. Bolton. 

e. This is again an indifferent move, the “Black Manu¬ 
script goes 1 5, 30 25, 3 8, 25 21, 14 18, 23 14, 6 9, 
13 6, 2 25, 21 14, 25 30, 26 23, 30 25, /31 26, 25 21, 
26 22, 21 25, 23 18, and the copy leaves the position 
a draw. 

/. Of course, if 23 18, 25 21, 19 15, 21 17, 15 10, 5 9, 
and Black’s are O. K.

d. The position is now a Single Corner, brought up thus: 

11 15 25 18 9 13 28 24 48 

22 18 12 16 24 19 16 20 25 22 

15 22 29 25 8 12 32 28 59 

e. If 7 10, 17 14, 10 19, 14 5, White wins. 

/. Published play goes: 14 10, 7 14, 15 10, 6 15, 18 11, 
2 6, 11 8, 6 10, 8 4, 3 8, 4 11, 10 15. Drawn. 

g. If 16 19, 23 16, 12 19, 15 11, 7 16, 14 10, 6 15, 18 11 
and the position is stronger now with the piece on 
25 than the Bristol, Game 54, Nelson vs. Moore, 
colors reversed. See diagram, Game 54. 


h. 


An outright blunder that loses the game. Instead, 
Howe might have scored a pretty win as diagrammed: 



i2 7, 18 15, 7 10, 22 18, 20 24, 27 11, 10 14, 23 16, 
14 30. Black wins. 

i. The position is quite deceptive. The first impression 
was to pitch 19 24, 28 19 and then move 6 10; but 
this will lose by 18 15, 10 14, *22 18. White wins. 

The position as it now stands arises from the 
Edinburgh, thus:

a. 6 9 and 11 16 are two good lines; the former merges 
with a Kelso position brought up thus: 10 15, 22 18, 
15 22, 25 18, 6 10. 

b. 24 20 is now in popular favor. The text move per¬ 
mits Black to break up the White game. 

c. 15 19 is by all means the safest continuation and 
puts the first player on the defense.

e. The key move to the situation. 11 16, 20 11, 7 16 
as played is weak for Black on account of the 13 9 
sacrifice which follows. The above is taken from the 
“Black Manuscript” and is quite interesting. 

/. It will be seen that 24 19 loses by 11 15 and 7 11, 
and that Black gets an equal game against anything 
else.

a. 28 24 is generally played. The text move is sound 
but gives Black the pull. 


b. White’s game looks weak, but is nevertheless sound. 

c. This should lose for White. The proper continuation 
is 22 18, 1 6, 18 9, 6 13, *23 18, 16 20, 18 14, 10 17, 
21 14, 13 17, 25 21, 2 6, 14 9. Drawn. 

d. The youngest competitor in the tourney had a chance 
to score, thus : 2 6, 25 22, 6 9, 17 13, 10 15, 13 6, 
1 10, 21 17, 14 21, 23 18, 21 25, 18 11, 25 30. Black

Dempsey 

vs. Nelson 


g. Very poor and should lose for Black. 


h. This move should be held back for awhile. 32 27 
should be played first, to prevent Black from going 
15 19, which eventually wins for White.

BANKS-JORDAN MATCH GAMES BOOK. 

The Banks vs. Jordan match games book has just 
been forwarded. They make a very neat book of seventy- 
five pages, finely printed and bound, with fine photos of 
the contestants and the referee of the match, A. W. Val¬ 
entine of Rock Island, Ill. Another portrait which adorns 
the book is that of E. H. Greene, president of the Kansas 
City Chess and Checker Club, through whose efforts main¬ 
ly the great match was arranged and successfully carried 
out. Another feature of the book, one that will surely be 
appreciated, is that the contestants have supplied the 
annotations to the games. The work makes a fine addi¬ 
tion to checker literature.— Dr. Schaefer in Newark 


The Kansas City Club is distributing these books 
through H. Lieberman, secretary, 509 Kemper building, 
Kansas City, Mo. You need one for the brilliant play, 
and they will appreciate your support.— Editor.
